Peterson Defines Divine Feminine as Mother Who Offers Child to Suffering

What was said

"The good mother offers her child to the world to be broken. And to be redeemed. The good mother cannot protect her child from the adventure of his life. She has to facilitate that, no matter what the cost. The woman who does nothing but protects her child destroys her child."

Peterson defined ideal femininity through Michelangelo's Pieta sculpture of Mary holding Christ's broken body, arguing the highest feminine virtue is the courage to send one's child into the world's suffering rather than protecting them from it. He framed overprotection as destructive and sacrificial offering as redemptive.
